git merge into master only overwrite changed files -


is possible merge branch edits branch master following scenario:

many changes made on edits new files added.

many changes made master new files added.

i'd overwrite duplicate files in master , use files edits, when im done, master contain changes edits, new files edits , new files master. if both contained new files, use edits's new files. if there merges, i'd replace entire file 1 edits.

i found answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1295232/1166285 , tried comment's suggestion made conflicts i'd have resolve.

is possible?

on master branch, merge in edits branch theirs merge strategy:

git checkout master git merge -xtheirs edits 

in case of conflicts, prefer theirs branch. changes master there no conflict retained.
